Michelle Andres Stands Up for the Republic

Across the country, concerned citizens are awakening to the realization that our government—local, state, and federal—has strayed far from its constitutional boundaries. In Washington State, one woman is taking that awakening and turning it into bold, strategic action.

Michelle Andres is not an elected official, a lawyer, or a career activist. She is a grandmother, a Christian, and a patriot answering the call to exercise the rights and responsibilities that come with citizenship in the United States. Her mission is clear: restore constitutional compliance at every level of government, using lawful, historic tools grounded in the original intent of our Founders.

Faith, Free Will, and Foundational Principles

Michelle’s activism is rooted in deeply held convictions, but her approach is refreshingly non-dogmatic. “My worldview and my belief in Christ says we are created with free will,” she explains. “I don’t impose my faith on others politically, but I do act publicly according to the values it shapes: respect for others, truth, and a duty to defend liberty.”

Rather than retreat from civic engagement due to political hostility, Michelle embraces her role in the public square. She stands firm for conservative values like the nuclear family and individual liberty—but does so with a recognition that all people are made in God’s image, worthy of dignity and dialogue. “We must disagree without division and legislate without violating conscience,” she says.

The Constitutional Compliance Movement: A Local Strategy with National Potential

Michelle’s efforts echo the work of constitutional advocates across the nation using tools from Loudoun-Liberty.org and ReclaimingtheRepublic.org. These platforms equip citizens with educational resources, sample petitions, templates for Constitutional Compliance Committees, and a growing network of local leaders committed to reform from the ground up.

Her method is simple but powerful: start local. She engages county commissioners, party central committees, and sheriffs—not just with complaints, but with solutions. She offers resolutions, petition samples, bylaws, and historical references to inform and activate officials and citizens alike.

Her focus? Encourage counties to form Constitutional Compliance Committees—nonpartisan bodies that examine government actions through the lens of the U.S. Constitution and state constitutions. This strategy is already gaining traction in multiple states.

From Coffee Chats to County Boards: Building Relationships, One Conversation at a Time

Michelle’s grassroots approach begins with showing up. Whether at a City Council meeting or a gun safety course, she observes, listens, and finds common ground. “If I’m asked to speak, I start with a question: If we all believe in the Constitution, why aren’t things constitutional today? Then I explain what the Framers gave us—and how we can reclaim it.”

Her conversations are intentionally empowering. “Most people feel powerless. But when I show them that the right to petition isn’t just free speech—it’s a constitutional tool for direct accountability—they lean in,” she says. “We don’t need lawsuits and headlines to take action. We need informed citizens taking lawful steps to hold officials to their oaths.”

Training and Materials: Petition, Educate, Repeat

Michelle emphasizes that this movement is not about theory or reactionary emotion. “We’re not chasing rumors or conspiracies—we’re going back to the Ratification debates, the Mayflower Compact, and the original public meaning of our Constitution.”

With tools from Loudoun Liberty and RTR, she shows others how to:

  • Create resolutions for their counties
  • Prepare and distribute petitions
  • Hold officials accountable under the 14th Amendment, Section 3
  • Understand how lawful petitioning avoids high court costs while keeping power local

“Sheriffs, commissioners, even school boards—they don’t always know they have these tools. Once they see them, some get it immediately.”

Resistance and Resolve

Of course, not everyone welcomes this kind of reform. Michelle has faced resistance from entrenched officials and skeptical community members. But she doesn’t argue—she educates.

She quotes the saying: “People equally informed seldom disagree.” She introduces historical precedent, legal grounding, and real-world examples like South Dakota’s withdrawal from a proposed central bank digital currency initiative following a petition campaign.

She also stresses prayerful persistence: “We’re like Nehemiah rebuilding the wall. We have to work and defend at the same time.”

Advice for First-Time Advocates

Michelle offers this guidance to anyone preparing to speak at a public meeting:

> “Use the public comment period to gently point out unconstitutional actions. Ask questions—Why aren’t we using the most expedient, lawful redress we have? Follow up. Build relationships. Share documents. You don’t have to know everything—you just need to show up and stand.”

Get Involved!

Michelle is now networking across Washington State—connecting with groups like the Family Policy Institute, Republican Women’s Clubs, Parental Rights Organizations, Sheriffs’ Associations, and civil service boards. She was recently elected State Committeewoman for her local Republican Party and continues to find new doors opening every week.

Let this be your invitation: show up, speak up, and stand.”
